Poetry performance at Angus & Robertson, Newcastle

Gail Hennessey and I did a joint reading and signing of our poetry books Repulsion Thrust and Witnessing. We read 5 poems from each book together and then 2 more on request for an encore to a reasonably large (for poetry) and enthusiastic audience, despite bad weather, traffic and road noise, and a last minute bookstore move. Though we've never read together before, Gail and I were surprisingly in sync, and the whole process was actually rather fun. Chris Clark at Culture Hunter has put up a review of the event ("lovely long words...") here:http://culturehunter.org/content/review-poetry-reading-gail-hennessey-magdalena-ball
